Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Dear Sir/Madam, As you read this, I don't want
you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Millah
Khalid a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.
I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defied all forms of medical
treatment, and right now I have only about
a few months to live, according to medical
experts. I have not particularly lived my
life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though
I am very rich, I was never generous, I was
always hostile to people and only focused on
my business as that was the only thing I cared
for. But now I regret all this as I now
know that there is more to life than just wanting to
have or make all the money in the world. I believe
when God gives me a second chance to come to
this world I would live my life a different
way from how I have lived it. Now that God has
called me, I have willed and given most
of my property and assets to my immediate and
extended family members as well as a few close
friends. I want God to be merciful to me and
accept my soul so, I have decided to give
also to charity organizations, as I want
this to be one of the last good deeds I
do on earth. So far, I have distributed money
to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria
and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated
so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once
asked members of my family to close one of
my accounts and distribute the money which I have
there to charity organization in Bulgaria and
Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to
themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be contended with what I have left
for them. The last of my money which no one
knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen
million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have
with a Finance/Security Company abroad. I will want
you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched
it to charity organizations. I have set aside
10% for you and for your time.You can contact via
my personally email address below: millah_khalid@linuxmail.org
God be with you.
Millah Khalid
